BREAKING: NYC Mayor Eric Adams Indicted

In a plot twist fit for reality TV, Mayor Eric Adams has been indicted by a grand jury in a federal probe.

You know how much the left loves to claim “the first!”, well that get to claim the first NYC mayor to be indicted.

The reason?

It remains to be seen as the charges are still sealed.

But Adams claims he’s being persecuted for talking about the city’s illegal alien crisis.

He plans to turn himself in next week.

Thursday is when the charges are rumored to be unsealed.

New York Post reports:

Mayor Eric Adams has been indicted by a grand jury on charges connected to a federal probe, sources told The Post — as the defiant mayor claimed he was being persecuted by the federal government for speaking about the city’s migrant crisis.

The historic indictment — the first for a sitting New York City mayor — is expected to be unsealed Thursday by US Attorney Damian Williams, according to the sources. The news was first reported by The New York Times.

Adams will surrender to authorities early next week, sources said.

“I always knew that if I stood my ground for New Yorkers that I would be a target — and a target I became,” Adams said in a statement to The Post.

“If I am charged, I am innocent, and I will fight this with every ounce of my strength and spirit.”

In a video statement released later, Adams said he wouldn’t step down and pledged to “fight these injustices with every ounce of my strength and spirit.”

“I will request an immediate trial so that New Yorkers can hear the truth. New Yorkers know my story. They know where I come from. I have been fighting injustice my entire life,” he continued.

“That fight has continued as your mayor. Despite our police, when the federal government did nothing as its broken immigration policies overloaded our shelter system with no relief, I put the people of New York before party and politics.”

A rep for the US Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York, which is prosecuting the case, declined to comment.

Sources close to Adams said late Wednesday that the mayor had not been told of the expected indictment.

Following news of the indictment, cops set up barriers outside Gracie Mansion, the mayor’s home, and forced reporters back from the house.

Details about the exact accusations remained unclear, but are believed to be connected to allegations of the Turkish government illegally funneling money into his mayoral campaign in exchange for approval of the Turkish consulate in Manhattan, according to sources.
